      What to Expect When Moving from Texas to California

      TX to California is a fun cross-state move that we would love to do with you. These 1000 miles are quite familiar to us. Moving across state lines can bring about a lot of changes. Moving APT understands and is here to help you learn too.

      Travel Route

      The most common route from Texas to California is I-10 West, which goes from Houston and San Antonio across the southern part of the USA, through El Paso, and into California. This road is 800 to 1,000 miles, depending on your starting point in Texas, and takes around 12 to 15 hours of driving.

      You should plan for at least one overnight or two if you are with kids. Another option is to take the I-20 West to I-10 West, which also takes you across the southern U.S., but adds a detour through Dallas if you want as a nice rest stop. These routes have plenty of rest stops you can enjoy.

      The lifestyle differences between TX to California can be strongly felt. The life in TX is known to be very friendly and a place where everything is bigger. In California, everything is more expensive, so expect everything to be smaller. The Hispanic culture influence can be felt in both and you will see all the signs in Spanish.

      Moving on out to the coast is such a treat. While Texas is lovely, and everything really is bigger there, moving to California will be a real treat in terms of lifestyle and diversity. While Texans are known for being friendly, Californians are known for their extreme inclusivity. Take it all in and enjoy the ride.

      Answering Texas to California Moving FAQs

      Moving in Texas can take anywhere from 7 to 21 days. There are a number of different factors at play here, but like the price of your move, it all comes down to the miles and the mass.

      Drivers aren’t allowed to clock more than 400 miles of interstate travel per day. That 400-per-day rule is a good way to figure out the baseline for your move’s duration. But aside from rules and regulations, movers typically bundle smaller moves together to avoid wasted space in a truck or trailer. It keeps costs down (and your stuff will be safely separated), but there may be delays for pickups and deliveries if you’re just moving a small amount of belongings.

      Packing supplies will usually cost between $200 and $600, but there’s no guarantee your nearest big box store will have what you need in the first place. If you’re really desperate, you can ask around at office parks, bookstores, and even liquor stores. They usually have sturdy boxes they’re willing to part with. (Or, you can skip the whole hassle and pay for packing services.)
      If you want to really prepare for moving day, we recommend starting early. Like, WAY EARLY. Start planning at least two or three months in advance, and try to downsize as much as possible before you start shopping for moving quotes. If you’re doing your own packing, start with your least-used items, and slowly work your way to your most-used items. PS: If you’re looking for more last-minute advice, we recommend putting all your daily essentials in one easy-to-access backpack or suitcase. That way you won’t have to dig through tons of boxes just to find your toothbrush.
      If you want a faster move, try to schedule smart. Make sure your move takes place far away from common vacation or holiday dates. This way, your movers won’t have to deal with as much traffic. You can also make sure all your boxes are in one easy-to-access staging area, whether it’s a garage, bedroom, or corner of your apartment. This will save lots of time when your movers are loading up the truck.
      Legit moving companies will be certified by the Department of Transportation (DOT), and if they operate across state lines, they’ll need to be certified by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) as well. When you’re on their website, look for a DOT number and an MC number. If you can’t find them, don’t be afraid to ask!
